Auditory spatial attention detection (ASAD) aims to decode the attended spatial location with EEG in a multiple-speaker setting. ASAD methods are inspired by the brain lateralization of cortical neural responses during the processing of…
Audio-visual speech enhancement (AVSE) is a task that uses visual auxiliary information to extract a target speaker's speech from mixed audio. In real-world scenarios, there often exist complex acoustic environments, accompanied by various…
Speech enhancement in audio-only settings remains challenging, particularly in the presence of interfering speakers. This paper presents a simple yet effective real-time audio-visual speech enhancement (AVSE) system, RAVEN, which isolates…
Audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR) combines audio-visual modalities to improve speech recognition, especially in noisy environments. However, most existing methods deploy the unidirectional enhancement or symmetric fusion manner, which…
Human auditory cortex excels at selectively suppressing background noise to focus on a target speaker. The process of selective attention in the brain is known to contextually exploit the available audio and visual cues to better focus on…
Traditional speaker diarization seeks to detect ``who spoke when'' according to speaker characteristics. Extending to target speech diarization, we detect ``when target event occurs'' according to the semantic characteristics of speech. We…
Although speaker verification has conventionally been an audio-only task, some practical applications provide both audio and visual streams of input. In these cases, the visual stream provides complementary information and can often be…
The scarcity of labeled audio-visual datasets is a constraint for training superior audio-visual speaker diarization systems. To improve the performance of audio-visual speaker diarization, we leverage pre-trained supervised and…
Robust voice activity detection (VAD) is a challenging task in low signal-to-noise (SNR) environments. Recent studies show that speech enhancement is helpful to VAD, but the performance improvement is limited. To address this issue, here we…
Speech is understood better by using visual context; for this reason, there have been many attempts to use images to adapt automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. Current work, however, has shown that visually adapted ASR models only…
Leveraging context information is an intuitive idea to improve performance on conversational automatic speech recognition(ASR). Previous works usually adopt recognized hypotheses of historical utterances as preceding context, which may bias…
The human brain can easily focus on one speaker and suppress others in scenarios such as a cocktail party. Recently, researchers found that auditory attention can be decoded from the electroencephalogram (EEG) data. However, most existing…
Dialogue models falter in noisy, multi-speaker environments, often producing irrelevant responses and awkward turn-taking. We present AV-Dialog, the first multimodal dialog framework that uses both audio and visual cues to track the target…
To better model the contextual information and increase the generalization ability of Speech Activity Detection (SAD) system, this paper leverages a multi-lingual Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system to perform SAD. Sequence…
Detecting deception by human behaviors is vital in many fields such as custom security and multimedia anti-fraud. Recently, audio-visual deception detection attracts more attention due to its better performance than using only a single…
Voice activity detection is an essential pre-processing component for speech-related tasks such as automatic speech recognition (ASR). Traditional supervised VAD systems obtain frame-level labels from an ASR pipeline by using, e.g., a…
The presence of abusive content on social media platforms is undesirable as it severely impedes healthy and safe social media interactions. While automatic abuse detection has been widely explored in textual domain, audio abuse detection…
Our objective is an audio-visual model for separating a single speaker from a mixture of sounds such as other speakers and background noise. Moreover, we wish to hear the speaker even when the visual cues are temporarily absent due to…
Audio-Visual Target Speaker Extraction (AVTSE) aims to separate a target speaker's voice from a mixed audio signal using the corresponding visual cues. While most existing AVTSE methods rely exclusively on frontal-view videos, this…
Active speaker detection (ASD) and virtual cinematography (VC) can significantly improve the remote user experience of a video conference by automatically panning, tilting and zooming of a video conferencing camera: users subjectively rate…
